Abstract

A vehicle includes a motor, a gear mechanism connected downstream of the motor, a box that has a motor chamber that houses the motor, a gear chamber that houses the gear mechanism and lubricating oil, and an exhaust pipe. A first cooling box, in which cooling liquid that cools the motor is introduced, is configured on an outer circumference of the motor. A second cooling box, which is connected so that cooling liquid can circulate between the second cooling box and the first cooling box, is configured on an outer circumference of the box. The motor chamber is arranged at a position spaced further apart from the exhaust pipe than the gear chamber.

Claims (30)
